Subtraction is SMASHING fun!

I definitely stole this idea from Mr. Greg over at Kindergarten Smorgasboard. My kids are working in subtraction this week and to practice we used marshmallows. I gave them the problem on a heart cut out. They counted out the marshmallows and then "Linus the minus" came along and took some away. He loves smashing the marshmallows and they loved smashing the marshmallows too!
For example: if given he problem 4-2 they counted out four marshmallows. Then they would smash two. Then count the ones left over.
It was a lot of fun. I think I may do it again later at Easter with Peeps marshmallows to review!
